When deputies arrived at the home on the morning of Nov. 8, the baby was unresponsive and a deputy began to administer CPR.The child’s mother was working when the incident occurred, according to investigators.The infant was transported to Florida Hospital Flagler, and then transferred to Wolfson’s Hospital in Jacksonville where doctors determined the injuries were sustained by “shaken baby syndrome”.Sheriff’s investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Wright Friday morning and took him into custody.“This is a sad case. This child is a helpless victim,” said Flagler County Sheriff Donald W. Fleming.The child has recovered, but did suffer long term brain damage, according to investigators.
